'Night of the Comet'

Had fun '80s flashback watching the comedy/horror flick "Night of the Comet." This very underrated zombie movie is about 2 sisters who are among a handful of survivors after a comet hits Earth.

"Comet" was somewhat ahead of its time with diverse casting, a heroic Latino male lead (Mexican-American actor Robert Beltran in the role of Hector). Plus, it's tame enough that I was able to watch it with my 10-year-old niece.

Had seen bits and pieces of it on cable as a kid and it came to mind Memorial Day weekend when I had a hankering to watch a scary movie that's not too gory. Watched the first part on YouTube, but it kept freezing up and was able to find it on DVD at the library.

"Night of the Comet" would be great addition to a Halloween movie marathon.
